Forecast issued at 4:16 pm EST on Tuesday 10 December 2013.
Weather Situation
A high [1017 hPa] near New Zealand extends a weakening ridge along the east coast of Queensland. A surface trough lies from the northwest to the southern interior of the state, and will move towards the east for the remainder of today, before stalling over the central and southeast inland over the remainder of the week. A broad upper level trough lies over Central Australia and is expected to extend across Queensland's interior by the middle of the week, and this combined with increasing moisture to the east of the surface trough will lead to an unstable airmass over eastern Queensland.

Mostly clear. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, mostly in the east. Winds northwest to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h tending southeast to southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h in the evening.
Wednesday 11 December
Mostly sunny. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the east. Winds southerly 25 to 40 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to the mid to high 20s with daytime temperatures reaching around 40.
